Among the recent changes of

republicans step down and out, and

takes the place Of Judge Hoyt, S. p.
Pinney Of G. NJ. Cuthbertson, and
Ed VI. Buchanan of Stephen Bur
rows. The appointees are all respect
able men-good fellows. and they
will make good officers.
We have sent for all club papers
that have been ordered, and trust
IL patrons have received their peri
Odicals all right. The Montreal Her
aid and Star has been a great trial to
US. and it is possible that it has not
been received vet. They are either
terribly slow ut hat office or provok-
ingIv negligent. We will thank our
patrons to inform us if there are any
failures to receive what has been or
dered. After the papers are once
received, all subsequent irregularities
should be corrected by writing the
publishers, not us.
+. ". Baldwin, Esq, who during
the last five years has devoted quite
q portion of his time TO the work, has
Just issued from the press of the
u. Wdtchmdp and State Journal, a
biography of the Bar of Orleans
County" The work embraces as ac-
curate and as detailed a biography of
every lawyer known to have practiced
III Orleans county, as it has been pos
slble to make. and it will be a work,
valuable not only t the members of
the bar now living. but to MANY who
are interested in the history of the
county and the state. 1t is a fact,
as many know, that very many men
who have been conspicuous as law
yers and judges in Vermont spent
some of their years in this county in
law practice. There are about 175
sketches, many of them quite extend
ed, and all well-written. The book
Is beautifully printed and finely
bound, and will be a valuable volume
IN the library. We ought to mention
the fact that there are a large num-
Der OF steel engravings, among which
are those of the Redfelds. John III.
